West Jordan

Utah's third-largest city, West Jordan is home to about 116,812 residents as of 2025, according to Census Bureau estimates — essentially flat compared to 116,961 in 2020. Like Draper and a few of its other neighbors, West Jordan is largely built out, with most of its remaining growth happening through infill and new-construction communities rather than new subdivisions on open land.

Redfin puts West Jordan's median sale price at $539,643 as of August 2026, up 1.8% from a year ago. Prices vary widely by neighborhood — new construction at Terraine starts in the low $400,000s, while homes in established areas like Westland, Copper Canyon, and Terra Linda often run higher for more space and mature lots.

Terraine is the go-to for new construction, a master-planned community with homes from the low $400,000s. Established neighborhoods like Westland, Copper Canyon, and Terra Linda offer more square footage and larger lots for the price. Jordan Landing, a 500-acre retail hub anchored by Walmart, Target, and a 24-screen Cinemark, sits at the center of the city and shapes a lot of buyers' sense of convenience.

Most of the city is in the Jordan School District, zoned to West Jordan High or Copper Hills High depending on neighborhood, with elementary schools including Columbia, Fox Hollow, and Mountain Shadows.

Families spend weekends at Veterans Memorial Park, the Gene Fullmer Recreation Center, or the Jordan River Parkway Trail. Veterans Memorial Park is also home to the annual Western Stampede rodeo, a West Jordan tradition since 1959. History buffs and shoppers alike head to Gardner Village, an 1877 grist mill turned historic shopping village.

West Jordan sits about 18 miles southwest of downtown Salt Lake City. Commuters use Bangerter Highway, the Mountain View Corridor, or six TRAX Red Line stops within the city for a ride into Salt Lake City or Murray without a car.

Jordan Landing is a 500-acre mixed-use retail hub anchored by Walmart, Target, and a 24-screen Cinemark — one of the largest developments of its kind in the Salt Lake Valley. Its central location means many West Jordan neighborhoods are just minutes from major shopping, dining, and entertainment.

Redfin rates West Jordan "somewhat competitive" (68 out of 100) as of August 2026, with homes going pending in about 34 days and roughly 30% selling above list price. It's a healthier market for sellers than a fully balanced one, but buyers still have room to negotiate on the right home. I'm happy to walk through what that means for your specific situation.
